Autocratic Genderwashing
While gender equality is usually linked with democracy, autocratic regimes frequently take the lead in such reforms. Focusing on the case of Serbia, this article demonstrates how gender equality reforms can be used as instruments of autocratic regimes. As electoral autocracies nowadays depend on international legitimation and support, they need to present a democratic image to the international audience. Very often they achieve this by introducin…
Evoking the resemblance
The constructivist approach to political representation has shown that descriptive representation cannot be reduced to passive presence. Descriptive representatives rather actively contribute to the construction of constituencies’ identities. Nevertheless, the existing empirical literature still dominantly operationalizes descriptive representation as mere presence of group members in the representative institutions. This article adds to the prev…
Facing protests in Serbia
Recent literature suggests that the competitive authoritarian regimes emerging in the twenty-first century are more subtle and nuanced in comparison to the old regimes of the 1990s. Aiming to understand these differences in greater depth, this article explores how new competitive authoritarian regimes react to mass protests. The article focuses on the case of Serbia, a country where protests have been widespread both during the old regime of the …
Noise againt the dictatorship
In this paper, we approach the process of (political) representation from the perspective of symbols as subjects of representation. Focusing on the protest Noise against the Dictatorship held in Serbia in spring 2020, we explore how symbols can become representatives, how their meanings are created and re-created, and how these processes affect the identity construction of the constituencies, of us and the Others. In contrast to the traditional p…
International Mobility and the Quality of Life of Foreign Students in the City of Zagreb / Međunarodna mobilnost i kvaliteta života stranih studenata u gradu Zagrebu
This paper primarily sought to determine the overall satisfaction with the quality of life of foreign students in the City of Zagreb who, as participants in higher education mobility, come to study at the University of Zagreb. The paper defines the following terms: student mobility, exchange programmes (Erasmus+, CEEPUS and bilateral agreements) as well as prerequisites for the development of mobility. Part of the paper deals with the concept of …
A Battle for Sovereignty
This article examines the role, status and perceptions of the Serbian cultural heritage in Kosovo from both Kosovo Albanian and Serbian perspectives. The analysis focuses on two cases, which attracted particular resistance on each of the two sides: the passing of legislation in the Kosovar parliament in 2012 that aimed to protect Serbian cultural heritage and the 2015 unsuccessful Kosovo bid for unesco membership. Both moments demonstrate how cul…
Electoral Incentives and ‘Shape-Shifting’ Representation
This article explores how members of parliament (MPs) from minority backgrounds in Serbia and Kosovo use institutional incentives to perform as elected minority representatives. In contrast to the previous research that has viewed political agents as simply being acted upon or reactive, this article develops a less deterministic view of the effects of electoral incentives on political agents. It argues for a more dynamic analysis that focuses on …

Accountability of minority representation
This paper aims to extend the focus of ethnic minority research in two ways: first, by introducing the notion of constitutive representation of ethnicity and second, by operationalizing accountability for empirical research of minority representation in accordance with the constructivist representative turn. The paper suggests that the analysis of ethnic minority representation would be significantly refined if it adopted a more constructivist un…
Liberalism between Politics and Epistemology
In this symposium, Alessandro Ferrara’s recent book The Democratic Horizon: Hyperpluralism and the Renewal of Political Liberalism – an attempt to expand the framework of Rawls’ political liberalism in order to enable it to meet the challenge of today’s hyperpluralism – is discussed from a variety of angles by four contributors. Among the themes addressed are the potential of political liberalism for grounding a critical attitude; the different p…
State-building and local resistance in Kosovo
This article focuses on the participation of local citizens in Kosovo in the process of state-building and their engagement with the institutions imposed by the international community. While previous literature focuses either on the constitutional and institutional framework or on the more direct forms of local resistance to international intervention, this article looks into more subtle forms of resistance whereby local citizens change the mean…

Identity through Urban Nomenclature
Geografisk Tidsskrift-Danish Journal of Geography 111(2):181–194, 2011 This paper deals with identity through city toponyms. Names of streets, squares, parks and lanes provide insight into a community's interpretation of its past, determined in relation to individuals, institutions and events. Street terminology becomes a pantheon of meritorious social icons. Changes indicate the trends, goals and aspirations of society. This study was conducted …
